Genuinely a brilliant collection of stories which are like flashes of lightning in the night—urgent, revelatory, violent, and beautiful. Reading the collection is like sitting at a bar (like the Foxhead for those who know) and being told the strangest most pitiful stories in the world by the stranger next to you and you buy each other drinks.
